Hurt to Duke. Somewhat expected. KU facing messy situation. Sure Mac will remind our visitor next week.

I agree we need a PF more than anything but we also need a SG. No SG's signed last year and none so far this year. We can't have 2 straight classes w/o a SG. I am confident that Mac will sign at least one SG if not 2 with a possible redshirt for one of them. You can never have too many guards. I would take a team with 10 guards/3 bigs over a team with 3 guards/10 bigs.

This year will be a REALLY big bust recruiting if we don’t get Tristan and we end up filling the open schollies with “the best remaining players” who are basically players who had lower level offers. I can say I am beyond officially worried at this late stage of the spring.

Remember a lot of people who thought our 2015 class was a bust -- it didn't have stars like that 2014 class (Harrell top 100 and Gilmore who was all BE athletic or something). Instead it had a last minute foreign guy who wasn't on anyone's list, AND two Omaha kids.. wow, ,what a failure by Mac

And that got us how many NCAA wins?

God, you Anti-Mac types really just need to crap on every thread don't you.

We all knew Patton was a project. It isn't our fault that as soon as he became useful he jumped to the NBA (right economic move, though, clearly). One more year for use would have paid off in a huge way. Similarly, Thomas wasn't a very good player as a frosh, but was quite good the next two years. Martin is still being valuable for us (not our fault he's had 2 ACL injuries since arriving).

Biggest reason we don't have NCAA wins with those 2 is that Watson got hurt. Team was primed to roll a good ways before he got hurt. We just didn't have the depth to cover that at that time. Now, BECAUSE OF MAC'S RECRUITING we are actually building depth

Did people really consider that class a bust? Maybe they considered it a disappointment since we missed on who we thought were our top targets like Clarke and McQuaid. But it didn't take very long to figure out that we had a potential hidden gem in Patton and a potential top flight defender in Thomas. And then we got Foster in the transfer market in the spring.

To be fair Patton was not under the radar at this point in his senior year. He was a consensus top 100 recruit. Taz was still rated higher than Grill & Windham are currently, and Marcus Foster had already committed. I think its warranted to be somewhat worried.

Unfortunately, until Mac gets to the 2nd weekend, this board will always be 50% “but , but, but, but” to anything the man does.
